The other part of the Gonce family

So as I mentioned in the post about Hunter, we met Mama, Dad, Hunter and Bailey in Vegas. For Bree this was her first visit there, and she did great! We got in late Friday night, and on Saturday we had a packed day! We took Hunter and Bailey to the Adventure Dome in Circus Circus and we had a blast! We rode the big water ride, and got a great picture of the four of us...Hunter refused to hold his arms in the air (this was our second ride together) so we teased him that he was being a 'Sally'.



However, Hunter redeemed himself when both kids wanted to go on the roller coaster. Now, mind you, this is no sissy roller coaster. There are two upside down loops, I think three corkscrews and two tunnel portions all within the 45 seconds of the ride. Adam can't do roller coasters (he could barely do the two times on water ride) so he didn't ride this one with us. The poor kids, they couldn't even hold their heads up because of the "G" force that this ride put on their little bodies...take a look:


Needless to say, the kids did not want to ride this one again. However, Bailey wanted to ride the water ride over and over and over so I think Bailey and I rode it four times in a row before she was satisfied. We also rode the bumper cars with the kids (and secretly let the kids steer) and had a super fun time with that. And, I might add....we all played laser tag and I whooped everyone!!!! I do not recall what the kids' scores were, but Adam's score was 525 and mine was 3200!! Must be beginners luck because I had never played that before, and I am not a very sporty person!

Mama and Dad watched our girls for us that morning and we were extremely grateful for it. Adam and I both needed to let go and act like little kids again! Yes, we were still responsible because we had kids with us, but for three hours we weren't wiping poopy butts, runny noses or messing with feeding tubes!

Later that night, Adam and I got to go out on our own and we had a fun time, and got some much needed alone time to spend just with each other...
